The
Learning Community Charter School (“LCCS”) is chartered to serve Pre-K 4
through 8th grade. The
school is open to families living in Jersey City. Admission to LCCS is conducted through a yearly
lottery. The Lottery determines who gets admitted for the spaces available,
and, if not admitted in what order the placement will be on the waiting list. Enrollment applications are usually available the
first Monday in November through the second Friday in January, excluding
weekends, holidays and school closures. As openings occur (mainly in late
summer), applicants from the waiting list will be called. Siblings of currently
enrolled students receive priority, followed by non-sibling applicants in
accordance with their position on the waiting list. When messages have been left at all contact
numbers and emails and the applicant does not respond within 48 hours (excluding
weekends), or if they decline, they will lose their place on the list and the
next child will be asked. After
applicant has responded to our acceptance offer the applicant will have 24hrs
from the time of response to accept or decline. It is the responsibility of the
applicant’s parent or guardian to make sure that all contact information on the
application is current and the school is notified if contact information
changes. LCCS also conducts Open Houses for the public; generally one Saturday
in November and December and one weekday evening and one weekday morning.
Please note that if you elect not to come to the open houses we will not
conduct private school tours later in the year.
